Magnum would have been even cooler hanging out in Hawaii, soaking up the rays, and using that juice to power his cool-mobile 308

Why? I get the La Ferrari, but why take away what makes a 308 a 308?

The styling is certainly Magnum, very '80s.

Uh... that is a 78' 308, they just retrofitted the car with electric gizmos.

Well, that makes sense... hehe.

It is awesome what they did though, but I'd still prefer a restored car to be its original.

Uh, well, ah, I guess they were just just ahead of their times then.
